Discrimination against teenagers in the mall environment: a case from Ankara, Turkey
(Libra Publishers, 2009-02) Mugan, G.; Erkip, F.
Teenagers spend much of their leisure time at shopping malls which is a result of factors such as parental constraint due to the incivility of the streets, financial dependence, and limited financial resources. Migros, a shopping mall in Ankara was chosen as the sit for this research wiht the main purpose of studying discrimination patterns against teenagers in the mall environment. The research was carried out through observation and in-depth interviews with 104 teenagers. Results indicate that, although they have some complaints, most of the teenagers do not perceive discrimination in the mall, unlike their foreign counterparts.

Previous work has reported a relation between pathogen-avoidance motivations and prejudice toward various social groups, including gay men and lesbian women. It is currently unknown whether this association is present across cultures, or specific to North America. Analyses of survey data from adult heterosexuals (N = 11,200) from 31 countries showed a small relation between pathogen disgust sensitivity (an individual-difference measure of pathogen-avoidance motivations) and measures of antigay attitudes. Analyses also showed that pathogen disgust sensitivity relates not only to antipathy toward gay men and lesbians, but also to negativity toward other groups, in particular those associated with violations of traditional sexual norms (e.g., prostitutes). These results suggest that the association between pathogen-avoidance motivations and antigay attitudes is relatively stable across cultures and is a manifestation of a more general relation between pathogen-avoidance motivations and prejudice towards groups associated with sexual norm violations.

Does negative media representation shape adolescents’ discrimination towards Syrian refugees through threat perception and prejudice?
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-05-05) Gönültaş, Seçil; Mulvey, K. L.
The current study examined whether adolescents' desired social distance from Syrian refugees is shaped by negative media representation about refugees through threat perception and prejudice. Participants consisted of 587 Turkish high (Mage = 14.81, SD = 0.97) and middle school (Mage = 12.19, SD = 1.01) students. Negative media perception was measured in different contexts: TV programs, news, newspapers/magazines, and social media. Adolescents' desired social distance from Syrian refugees was measured through their preference for how socially distant from a Syrian peer in their neighborhood and school they wished to be. Perceived threat and prejudice were examined as possible mediators of the relationship between media exposure and discrimination. Results showed that more negative media representation was related to perceived threat and greater prejudice, which led to greater desired social distance from refugees. Findings provide important implications about how media can be an important tool in shaping intergroup attitudes towards Syrian refugees during adolescence.

(Bilkent University, 2018) Erginbaş, Yiğit Efe; Güçlü, Arda; Gevrek, Özgür Bora; Aksoy, Elif; Yavuz, Nesibe Nur
Bu çalışmada iş yurtlarının kurulmasıyla beraber mahkumların rehabilitasyon süreçlerindeki değişim incelenmiştir. Bu değişim sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik alanlarda gözlemlenmiştir. çalışmanın seç ilme ve sürdürülme sebepleri iş yurtlarının gelişiminin irdelenmesi, bu gelişimin mahkûm hayatına etkisi gibi sosyal katmanının ve ürün satışlarından oluşan ekonomik katmanın büyük önem arz etmesi ve bu konularla alakalı çalışmaların yetersiz görülmesidir. Bu konu basın ve toplum seviyesinde mercek altına alınmış olup bulgular birincil kaynaklar ve yazılı metinlerle desteklenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda toplanan bilgiler toplumun mahkûm algısı, cezaevi üretimi gibi kavramlara bakışının nasıl bir süreçte değiştiğini göstermiş ve bu değişimin mahkûm hayatıyla beraber bölgenin ekonomik kalkınmasını da etkilediğini gözler önüne sermiştir. Kalecik Açık Cezaevi’nin tesisleşme ve üretilen ürünlerin markalaşma süreci de rapora eklenmiştir. Bulgularımızın sonucunda halkın bakışının ve cezaevi içinde tutuklu hayatının büyük ölçüde değiştiğine ve bu değişimlerin akademik destekle ve devlet desteğiyle yaygınlaştırılmaya çalışıldığına ulaşılmıştır.

Orhan Pamuk'un Kar'ında epigrafik ilişkiler
(2007) Riley, Nathaniel Brann
Orhan Pamuk’s political novel Snow’s multifaceted provocativeness is a conscious strategy of literary contrast designed to question all manner of prejudice. By attracting attention to the inaccuracy of stereotypical labels, the identity-related contradictions in the novel’s characters invite the reader to originality and individualism. The book’s illustration of opposites like white-black and heaven-hell using blurry shades of gray and pastels, as well as the snowflake diagram’s multidimensional symmetry, indicate the fundamental irreducibility of reality’s complexity. Within this context, the epigraphs quoted from Robert Browning’s “Bishop Blougram’s Apology”, Stendhal’s La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma), Dostoyevsky’s The Possessed (or The Demons or The Devils), and Joseph Conrad’s Under Western Eyes all bear significance for Snow. When the partly concrete, partly abstract similarities between Snow and its epigraphical sources are taken as the point of departure, several apparently significant structural contrasts stand out. Ultimately, this strategy of contrast can be evaluated as pluralist and antiOrientalist, as opposed to prejudiced and racist as widely supposed. Thus, more than mere deferential “tips of the hat” to the masters of the political novel genre, Snow’s epigraphs may be considered intertextual replies, parallels or parodies.

Should I invite them? Bystanders' inclusivity judgements towards outgroup victims and ingroup bullies in intergroup bullying
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2021-09-16) Gönültaş, Seçil; Yavuz, H. M.; Mulvey, K. L.
This study examined bystanders' judgements of bullying and their inclusivity towards refugee victims and in group bully peers. Participants included 587 Turkish adolescents (Mage=13.14,SD=1.60) who were presented with two stories: intergroup (Syrian refugee victim) and intragroup(Turkish victim) bullying. They indicated acceptability of bullying, retaliation, and how likely they would be to include victims and bullies in different social contexts. Empathy, prejudice, desired social distance, and peer norms towards Syrian refugees were examined as predictors. Adolescents in schools with a higher number of Syrian peers were more likely to expect they would include the Syrian victim than adolescents in schools with a lower number of Syrian peers. Further, adolescents with higher empathy were more likely to include the Syrian victim while adolescents with higher prejudice and desired social distance were less likely to include the Syrian victim. The results highlight the importance of attending to bystanders' future interactions with victims and bullies, as bystanders have the opportunity to challenge injustice by promoting inclusive school climates in diverse societies.
